Leveraging experiential design as a strategic tool to help clients achieve organizational goals and strengthen business outcomes.

New values in the workforce and consumer culture are changing. Technology is transforming business and jobs are evolving. The world is urbanizing across the board, from cities to suburbs. All of these factors are affecting real estate development.

Technology, population growth and the millennial cohort are driving changes in real estate, from the workplace, retail, hospitality and entertainment to the mixed-use developments that bring these experiences together.

Technology is rapidly transforming what people do for a living. How talent is supported, how teams connect – these new challenges are disrupting current work patterns and settings. As designers, we work with clients to re-think the nature of work itself whether it’s in Tech, Consumer Products, Media, Financial Services or Energy.

Three out of four Millennials would rather spend their money on experiences over consumer goods, and their purchasing habits, employment selections and overall lifestyle reflect this. Our human-centered approach to design helps clients think strategically about how they want to engage users in their spaces, whether they’re appealing just to Millennials or a multi-generational cohort.

Increasing urbanization is driving mixed-use developments that are walkable, amenity-rich, and transit-oriented. We partner with developers and property owners/managers to design authentic experiences that create the best destinations for their needs.

Whether creating a workplace environment that inspires engagement and wellness to a mixed-use redevelopment campus geared towards attracting the best tenants, we partner with our clients to help them achieve their vision.

“Westgroup Designs saved us over $1.5m in construction costs while fast-track delivering a 130,000 sf, LEED-Platinum office building…but more importantly, the building allowed us to keep Google as our valued tenant. None of the other firms we worked with before could commit to doing that on our time-table and budget.”
